Ordinary Thunderstorms by William Boyd

I read this January 2016
I bought this ages ago at a summer fete because William Boyd had been asked to write a new James Bond.  Reading this I can see why... it's very Bond like plot wise although the hero is far from Bondlike. An American (Climatologist) in London for a job interview.  He happens to meet a man in a restaurant, who subsequent eaves a file there, He goes to the man's (a research in pharmacist  developing a new drug) but finds the man has been fatally attacked.  All that happens then on is a consequence of that visit.  He goes underground, living rough, gets mugged, goes to a church for help, meets a policewoman....you name it , it happens pretty much...
I enjoyed this book
